PC players who will pre-order the game on Steam will also be able to enjoy the multiplayer beta demo a few weeks before the release of the game. As a thank you for your support and patience, players will receive an extra Blood Bowl 2 race (including its own AI, design, skills, and their Star Players): the Lizardmen or the Wood Elves during pre-order campaign on consoles and PC. The game was delayed by a few weeks compared with its initial release planned this June, in order to ensure that players would enjoy the most polished foundations possible for the next generation Blood Bowl experience. We can now officially announce that Blood Bowl 2 will be releasing September 22 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Oh, there are also now things like Discord, which to me at least, make a huge difference to the enjoyment of the game and league experience.After an introduction to the Chaos and Human teams in their gameplay videos, Blood Bowl 2, the sequel to the video game adaptation of Games Workshop’s famous board game that combines American football with the fantasy world of Warhammer, reveals its release date, two additional races, and a new video dedicated to its solo campaign! Overall it is (from memory) a lot better than BB1, but of course Cyanide so could still be better! They have also put in some custom teams (amalgamations of races) which are horribly imbalanced but fun for a one off thing.

So as Tys says, you can create a NAF tourney should you so wish. You can also choose resurrection format, custom teams, experienced or rookie teams, etc. From playing around with it you get the option to have either round robin, ladder, Swiss, or knockout.

I've not created my own leagues so I think the above is correct. This can be done within the overall league though. I don't think cross division match play is possible, other than creating a separate division for that and having teams jump back and forth between the divs. I think you can have teams within divisions play more than once yes You can create a division within the league in an eg round robin format, then create a new division and switch the playoff teams to it in a knockout format, easy to do though Having said that, to answer your questions Īny league can have 1 to a lot of admins, so no reason why one league with multiple divisions cannot be adminned by 1 person The admin tools still kind of suck tbh, that is one thing that hopefully gets improved if BB3 ever comes along. More questions to come as I think of them. Is this still the case?Īlso, let's say, purely hypothetically, someone wanted to create a league with divisions and playoffs, that could be done in a single format before, is that still possible?Īnd in such a hypothetical league could teams within divisions play just once against each other or twice? I seem to recall BB1 had the option to do either one or two matches against each opponent in your division, but I might be misremembering.Īnd finally (and most doubtfully), have any new options been added, for example cross-divisional match play (a la NFL) for example?Īll purely speculative at this point, I'm just curious if and how things have evolved and if they are any easier. So, as I'm pottering about the forums, getting back up to speed, I'm wondering how much BB2 offers in terms of league types and admin tools.īack in BB1 there were a few league formats available, but generally the number of teams was a limiting factor in the choice available and many leagues ended up with separate divisions administered separately.
